VHMW Very High Molecular Weight

Alro Plastics stocks King Hy-Pact® (Very High Molecular Weight polyethylene), a unique product designed to be a perfect complement to UHMW. VHMW bridges the wide performance gap between HDPE and UHMW.  King Hy-Pact® VHMW is a super tough industrial polymer sheet that is environmentally stabilized with excellent physical properties. Tests have shown after 2,000 hours of UV exposure, King Hy-Pact outperforms both UV stabilized HDPE and UHMW with superior toughness in wear resistance, flexibility, and high-impact strength. Compared to competing materials, King Hy-Pact can save 25% to 30% in material costs.

It has a clean white color with a smooth, non-skived finish for better material flow. Applications for King Hy-Pact® include but are not limited to, food processing chutes, star wheels, machine products, snowplow blades, and dock fenders. King Hy-Pact® is the smart choice for many high-abuse applications requiring superior properties, outstanding flatness, and a smooth surface.
